HANNIBAL - Due to delays caused by the recent cool, wet weather, MoDOT crews have rescheduled resurfacing on various routes in Audrain and Monroe Counties over the next few weeks. Crews have tentatively planned resurfacing on the following routes listed below on the dates and times indicated. These dates could potentially change. If the work is rescheduled to a later date MoDOT will issue a news release.

Route AA - May 2 resurfacing with cold mix asphalt from Route 15 south of Paris to Route 24 between Holliday and Madison.

Route C - May 3-4 resurfacing with cold mix asphalt from Route AA north to Route 24 just east of Holliday.

Route 24 - May 3-5 resurfacing with hot mix asphalt from Paris to Madison; one lane traffic, with cautionary signs and flaggers at the work zone.

Construction equipment and trucks hauling material will be entering and exiting the work zone; please use extra caution while traveling through these areas.
